Pinterest Share Code

Published 6 March 2014

A couple of years ago, we wrote a post about the share code for Pinterest that would work on Windows Phones as a bookmark. May sound complicated, but this was before may people had Android and sharing an image was not easy.

Text in red needs to be updated with your information… so to take it all apart bit by bit:

This is the start of the code

<a href=”//gb.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?

Then you tell the code what URL you are posting. In this case it’s http://truesilver.co.uk, but you can add your full URL here

?url=http://truesilver.co.uk/

Next, we have the image you want your visitors to pin. In WordPress this might be the featured image, or it can be another preset image or left blank for users to choose their own from all images on the screen (be aware that this can cause issues on mobiles)
